Local-exec provisioner background port forward task hangs

Terraform
1

After creation of a resource I would like to execute a kubectl port-forward command with a local-exec provisioner.
Doing so will keep the resource creation in a pending (still creating) state:

Currently I’m trying:

  # Terraform
  # ... inside resource
  provisioner "local-exec" {
    interpreter = ["bash", "-c"]
    working_dir = "${path.module}/../../../scripts"
    command     = "./execute.sh 'nohup kubectl port-forward svc/web 9500:8084 --namespace linkerd' &"
  }

  # Script
  #! /bin/bash
  eval $1
  disown

I’m just messing around with combinations of background tasks & (in the script, when calling the script, …), nohub, disown, using no script, sleep 1, redirects to null, etc … Anything I could find really…

I would expect kubectl port-forward svc/web 9500:8084 --namespace linkerd & to be sufficient, but TF is not able to finish creation of the resource.

I’m working on a Windows machine (/bin/bash as interpreter doesn’t work for me) with Terraform v1.2.5.

Is there a way to perform a port-forward and get my Terminal back?
Thanks.

Nevermind :arrow_down:
The following works for me:

  provisioner "local-exec" {
    interpreter = ["bash", "-c"]
    command     = "kubectl port-forward svc/web 9500:8084 --namespace linkerd >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
  }

I have this feeling I tried that one before :exploding_head:

Cheers.
